How much money do I win for landing on Free Parking?

By Erik Arneson, About.com

Question: How much money do I win for landing on Free Parking?
Answer: Zero. Zippo. Zilch.

In the official rules, Free Parking is just that -- a place to hang out for a turn where nothing happens, good or bad.

Many players use a house rule that puts either a set amount of money (e.g. $500), or all moneys paid to the bank, into a Free Parking "pot" that is won by a player who lands on Free Parking. This rule, which I generally played with as a child, makes the game longer and more luck-driven -- neither of which are desirable in my view.
